In my country, some of the stores allow you to scan things while picking the things up. Then you can just directly put it into your bag. You pay online with your credit card, scan the generated barcode on the way out, and you're out! No need to queue. Sometimes there are random checks but generally it's really fast and smooth.
That's what I was talking about. You still gotta queue to scan the code. If store could add a lane or two just for people to scan it, it'd be great, but all I've seen is having to join the normal line even for that. So it ends up helping the people behind you more than it helps you.
Which will eventually help you as more people do it, but doesn't help a lot at the moment. Although it could lead to more trouble as everyone stops in the aisle to scan stuff now.
No, scanning the code takes literal seconds. I think there may be a misunderstanding? I mean there's an app on your phone that you can scan the barcodes of the stuff you're buying as you're picking it up.
The you pay with the app, and as you're leaving, scan the generated QR code at the exit, where there may be a random check.
